Terminator: Rebirth
May 5 2009, 2:40 PM EDT
Very nicely done, Casobs. Nice way with words. Good description. And a good subtle reveal about the characters we see. Instead of saying John Connor drives down, we guess at who it is until someone calls it that. And describing Catherine Weaver by her red hair, also works well. Interesting that you are working backwards from John finding Cameron, to the ending of Born to Run. Only things that I think need improving is your use of space. When you get to another paragraph, I would put an extra space between the next line, it makes it easier to read. Particularly it would help when you go into the flashback, to help make it clear that we are jumping back in time. Also, be careful with tense confusion. In the beginning you switch between past and present tense. The whole thing ran as a good teaser for me leaving me to want more. Keep it up :) 4 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

I don't really read fanfic but i mentioned quite a few times now that S3 should be called "Terminator: Rebirth" and should start fresh without the limitation of having all storylines focus on Sarah.
Do you find this valuable?

I fixed the document so that all future uploads will have proper spacing. And thank you for spotting the tense confusion, I was trying to keep it in tense, but I didn't realize I missed a spot. I am going to take my time, but I already have ideas of how this is going to go... I think you will like it! But I want to get a little bit of promotion to get some feedback and ideas! If you can spread it around, that would be great! 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I promised to read your fanfic story, so I keep my promise. :) Here is feedback. It was very good and really interesting way to tell the story. I read your story before you make spaces between paragraph and honestly it was really difficult to read then. But now it's much more easier. Good way to start the story with John's thoughts and it was nice that we guess who it's, but you mentions it only in half way of the story. I don't was it your intention, but it's quite understandable that John thinks, who he is and (to me) CW was the reminder to John. I mean that John was living in the world, where John Connor is not important. He has seen things, which he was not supposed to see, before he would become the leader. It's not surprise if you are not sure, who you are (and supposed to come.) Then that “your life flashing before your eyes” part was great. Nice to put it at end and not to start the story with it. Couple of sidenotes. John has lived in future, world after Judgement day. If they go back to 2007/8 ( which I think that they do), remember that John should apprecriate the world after JD much more. Even Sarah pancakes ;) Then if this was not purpose, please fix it, because it's irritating. “John... John Conner”. Why Connor is with letter "e"? As a whole really good chapter and update as soon as possible. :) P.S there will be couple of question in my next posts after this one. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Then couple of question.Will you tell us, when Cameron get new body (or is it old one)? Why I think that is important is that it might change story (imo.) If Cam got new body just before CW meet John, then there is no "trouble". But if Cam gets new body much more earlier, it could change things and at least create tension. Why Cameron waits 2 years to find John? If it was CW order/wish, how it affect to Cam. 2 years knowing that John is there and potentially in danger and you can't protect/help him. That must be horrible and it will change her and John reunition. (when they are alone.) Also John might ask her, why she doesn't search him. (if Cam got new body earlier.) John might be little upset and even angry. If he would shout to Cam, how Cam will respond? Specially this is important if CW order that she can’t meet John. If this is the case, I think that Cam’s response would be (at least a little) emotional. How those two years, which John spend in future, has change him and how that will affect to his and Cam’s relationship? (Hopefully things doesn’t go like in Automatic) Still I think that there would be some “problems.” (Specially if Cam got new body earlier.) 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

continue...Then one thing, which you should do or at least you have really good chance to do it (because John was 2 years in future), is that you use that to improve John and Cam relationship. Because John has seen things, which he is not supposed to see yet, none one could understand his “suffering”. (specially if they go back to 2007/8.) However Cam has seen the war before and she has seen it from John’s point of view. So she will definitely understand him better and help him to get over some of those horrible things. Cam helping John, because she understands his “suffering” would be really good way to improve their relationship and I hope that you will use it. (at least in some form.) How has Cam changed and does she longing John? (Specially important if Cam got new body earlier than just before John and CW meets). There are couple of question and “tips”. However, some of them are little meaningless if Cam got new body just before she found John, but anyway. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Wow! Thats a lot! But I like it, makes me think about It. As I've said, I have a general idea of how the story will playout, but I wanted feedback to give ideas on how to format it. I haven't written Chapter 2 yet, but I'd like your opinion:I still want to do flashback chapters that will go through some of John hardest (and best) mements, but I am also thinking (partly from what you said) that I should do alternating Chapters with Cameron's life during the 2 year. However, I'm not sure if this will confuse the story at all. And just to mention about who hee thinks he is... I got a plan for that ;) 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Wow! Thats a lot! But I like it, makes me think about It. As I've said, I have a general idea of how the story will playout, but I wanted feedback to give ideas on how to format it. I haven't written Chapter 2 yet, but I'd like your opinion:Both John's and Cam's flashback chapters sound good and interesting. But still I think that it will be better if that/those flashback chapters would come little later. I mean that John has just found CW and Cam again. Because of that there are lots of explaining and John flashback from his experiment wouldn't fit to chapter 2. It should more explain what will happen next and how it will happen. When "the path" is clear (John, Cam, CW, and others know what will happen), you could make flashbacks from John's experiments. (During things and between different happenings.) This only my opinion. Then if you really want to do also that Cameron's flashback, you could interconnect John's and Cam's flashback. They could have a talk (when they are alone) and they speaks for their experiments. That's why you can get both flashbacks and at the same time strenghten their relationship. I mean that they would tell their expriments aloud and other listening that. (though it won't be flashback then.) Still it would good if both flashbacks are in the same chapter, it will not confuse so much. For example Cam's "flashback" could be then, when she watch John sleep and playing memories from past 2 years. Do you find this valuable? |

Hey Casobs2, read all three chapters, and I agree, you can be proud of the third especially. You have a good plot, and a good, plausible foundation for Cameron's development. Keep it up!
